In a significant diplomatic meeting, Chadian President General MAHAMAT IDRISS DEBY ITNO welcomed a delegation from the Central African Republic led by Mr. Jean Wilibiro SAKO, Minister of State in charge of Demobilization, Disarmament, Reintegration and Repatriation (DDRR) and Special Envoy of President Faustin Archange Touadéra.
The purpose of the delegation’s visit was to deliver a message from President Touadéra to President DEBY ITNO, and to engage in discussions aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation between the two neighboring countries. Key topics of the meeting included security issues and the protection of people and property along the shared border.
Chad, known for its commitment to peaceful conflict resolution in the sub-region, plays a significant role in seeking peace in the Central African Republic, particularly in its northern region, which has been affected by politico-military unrest.
While the specific contents of President Touadéra’s message were not disclosed, the high-ranking status of the envoy suggests that it likely pertains to a request for Chad’s assistance in navigating the crisis and fostering reconciliation within the Central African Republic.
Due to their close proximity and interconnectedness, Chad and the Central African Republic regularly engage in summit-level consultations on matters of mutual interest. The visit by the Central African delegation aligns with this framework of ongoing communication and collaboration between the two nations.
